I recall a story about how when MAPS was going through the initial process of starting trials, they were permitted to introduce evidence of the safety from times when it was illegal, which also provided a bit of long term results. More rece

Many of those stories remind me of the mechanism that's been described for the MDMA treatment for PTSD. Really interesting stuff.

As a software engineer, unfortunately, the sound sources that drive me to the edge of insanity are things like loud typing, or hands fishing around for chips in a bag. While I feel totally comfortable asking people to quiet down a conversat

Since at least 1997 IBM has been the top recipient of patents every year, and has had the most patents for 24 consecutive years. They are into basic research from everything from chip design to brain research and quantum computing.

Given (1) the importance of HPC (both scientific and strategic), (2) the size (man-power, gov. agencies, universities, and companies), scope (new hardware, energy, software), and length of this project (approaching a decade), and (3) intern

I second this. I've been running Fedora on my MacBook Air, and all my desktops for around a year with no problems, except the occasional wifi issue.

There is also a really cool paper on concurrency control for databases implemented as log-structured storage: http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol4/p944-bernstein.pdf

We were looking for ways to implement a key-value store on a distributed log, and we actually started from a very basic persistent red-black tree, adapting it along the way for log-structured storage. The technique worked really well: http

Yup. Running FC25 right now on 27" iMac and the visual appearance is noticeably better than older distributions I'm running on other hardware. Edit: FC25

They have a top research facility in San Jose (Almaden), among many others in the US and around the world. I'm not familiar with where the bulk of their workforce is located, or if it is highly distributed.

Slightly off topic since the post is specific to Ruby, but are you able to compare OMR to Truffle and Graal?

This is certainly the case, but not necessarily AI. Huge supercomputers are used to run physics simulations to assist with material design processes at national labs [0]. I cannot imagine that some of that work is related to dealing with ma

I suspect that Amazon will not only be dropping prices, but will be adding new ways to store data with variable pricing (e.g. new tiers as well as reduced redundancy). Not to mention that if you have 100PB in AWS you might get preferential

While this is from last year, today the FDA approved phase 3 trials of MDMA for PTSD ( http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/29/us/ptsd-mdma-ecstasy.html ).

I really like the way this article introduces the concepts of integrating Lua into a storage system like Redis. Shameless plug: the integration of Lua into Redis served as inspiration for our recent integration of Lua into Ceph/RADOS [

Perhaps the next step will be selling cloud services from in-orbit data centers that have no cooling bill.

Indeed, one of the prototype services built on Tango and evaluated in the paper was a Zookeeper clone.

We have built an implementation of CORFU [1] (the protocol Tango is based on) that runs on Ceph/RADOS, called ZLog [0]. We have a very simple prototype of Tango running ZLog. ZLog could run on other storage systems like Kafka but we ha

I find that using the "archive to tag" + "skip inbox" filter features in Gmail is very convenient. The threaded interface and search is great. Once upon a time I used a dedicated Gmail account to store LKML (100K's

In the article, after the pypy plugin.py step that produced the C library, one could presumably dlopen the library to accomplish a dynamic plugin feature. Is there a way to invoke pypy to JIT this code to avoid invoking pypy and a compiler?

On Tuesday Eric Brewer gave a talk on this white paper at FAST. In the talk (and probably discussed more in the paper) he proposed looking at alternative disk form factors. He seemed to be particularly interested in "tall" disks,
